Haswell equipped laptops

Henryg40 · 13 Sep 2013 at 09:27

Morning,

I'm in the position to buy a laptop for roughly £1000 +/- £200.

I've been looking around and it seems to make sense to buy a Haswell equipped laptop due to the low power consumption and better onboard graphics.

The one thing I can't decide on is whether to go for an ultrabook or not, there doesn't seem to be a massive choice of haswell equipped ultrabooks at the moment within my budget. I do like the look of the acer aspire S7 392 but I can't find a release date or anything for the UK.

I think bassically I'm stuck between choosing a 14" or a 15.6" screen!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be tempted to wait until the end of September/start of October as thats when Intel's newest editions of the Haswell's are released.

Is there going to be upgrades on the I7-4700 to I7-4930 Haswell range then? As I am going to have a custom overclockers built. And I was going to choose I7-4800MQ and Ati 8790? Thanks

that looks like a great machine, memory expandable or onboard? Also it can take another HDD?

Happyhughes2001 · 19 Sep 2013 at 23:34

Expandable up to dual 16GB ram, and hard drive is SSD? And there is room for another hard drive. It is the overclockers hardcore gamer 17.6" machine, I have just upgraded a few things. Can't wait!!!!
